 オリンピア山(Olympus Mons;135W,+25)が白い斑点に見えて、よく目立っている。ターミネーターの白い雲はタルシス東部
(Tharsis;80W~120W,+10)にできた白雲である。かなり明るく、あまり見かけない姿をしている。
 ダエダリア(Daedaria;145W,-30)が前のシーズンよりも黒く見える。また、シレーン(Mare Sirenum;140W~170W,-30)の北側に
暗くなった地域ができているようである。南極フードは明るく見えるが、ターミネーター付近にやや明るい部分ができている。同じものは
前日にもみられたが、今日は明るさが鈍く、SPCではないように見える。

Olympus Mons (135W, + 25) is visible as white spots. The white cloud of the terminator is a white cloud formed in the 
eastern part of Tharsis (80W ~ 120W, + 10). It is very bright and rarely seen. Daedaria (145W, -30) looks darker than previous season. 
Also, it seems that a darkened area has been formed on the north side of Mare Sirenum ( 140W to 170W, -30). The SP hood looks bright 
but has a slightly brighter area near the terminator. The same phenomenon was seen the day before, but today the brightness is low 
and it looks like it is not an SPC.

Persistent cloud remains over Olympus Mons (lower right of centre) and the central Tharsis Montes. 
There is significant late afternoon equatorial cloud over the Xanthe region as well as cloud over Tempe (lower left). 
I believe Vallis Marineris can just be made out to the upper right of the Xanthe cloud. Solis Lacus is coming into view at upper left.
In the B image an interesting string of clouds can be seen extending from the centre to the North Polar region at the bottom.
